Chapter 109 If you don't behave, I might...
Li Yao looked in the direction where Pan Zhen had disappeared and sneered, "I'm ready anytime."
With Pan Zhen's defeat, the floating island returned to peace.
The next second, cheers resounded throughout the open space.
"We won!"
Cheers erupted one after another, and many young angels, their eyes shining, excitedly discussed the news.
"Sister Leng's sword strike just now was incredibly swift and decisive!"
"The young prince is truly amazing; he easily overwhelmed the scorching sun, causing Pan Zhen to flee in disarray!"
Everyone had already accepted Li Yao as the new king from the bottom of their hearts. Even though he had not yet officially ascended the throne and was still only the crown prince, everyone affectionately called him Your Highness and looked at him with admiration and trust.
Since Queen Keisha's fall, a dark cloud has hung over everyone's hearts.
But now, Li Yao first led his men to force Morgana to retreat, and today he publicly thwarted Pan Zhen.
The series of victories dispelled the gloom in everyone's hearts and rekindled their hope for the future.
Being stared at by more than twenty pairs of bright eyes made Li Yao feel a little uncomfortable.
He turned around, smiled, and raised his hand to indicate, "Everyone has worked hard, go back and rest."
"We're not tired at all!" Lingxi shook her head and chuckled.
"Exactly, exactly, we didn't even get a chance to make a move just now."
"We'll stay here with His Highness!"
The angels chattered amongst themselves, their faces beaming with sweet smiles. Their lively and adorable chatter was completely devoid of the grim atmosphere of the battlefield.
Looking at his clingy older sisters, Li Yao shook his head helplessly, then pretended to be stern and said seriously, "Aren't you going to rest properly? If you don't behave, I might..."
He paused deliberately, only saying half of his sentence, hoping to scare the energetic angels.
Before he could even come up with an explanation, Yunyan, a lively angel who often hung out with Angel Yan, suddenly brightened up. With a mischievous grin, she teased him:
"What about our little prince? Are you going to spank us?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around very cooperatively, bowed slightly, and looked obediently at his mercy, both cute and mischievous.
As soon as these words were spoken, a soft chuckle rippled through the room.
The other angels started to commotion, all laughing and watching the spectacle around Li Yao, showing no fear whatsoever of his feigned authority.
"Haha, I think it's very possible!"
"Your Highness, punish us! We just wouldn't listen!"
A group of exceptionally beautiful young women gathered together, playfully teasing and laughing, instantly transforming the originally chilly atmosphere of the floating island into a warm and inviting space.
Li Yao looked at the group of angels joking and teasing him, and shook his head with a wry smile.
This is the downside of being watched over by them since childhood; you have absolutely no authority to command respect.
Meanwhile, he was secretly pondering to himself.
Or... should we just pretend to punish them?
These angels are incredibly mischievous; a little punishment would be good to establish their kingly authority.
Thinking of this, he even subconsciously pictured raising his hand to pat the other hand, the thought flashing through his mind, and he even calculated the force clearly.
But the next second, Li Yao immediately suppressed the little impure thought in his heart.
No, no, no! That won't do!
If we really do that, these audacious angels might take advantage of our position and end up destroying themselves instead of maintaining our authority.
Just as Li Yao was lost in thought, a cold rebuke suddenly rang out, instantly silencing the commotion.
"Stop fooling around!"
Angel Leng stood to the side, holding her sword, her eyes cold and aloof, exuding an aura of... chuunibyou (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur).
She glanced at the group of playful angels, her tone tinged with helplessness and seriousness:
"His Highness has just finished a great battle and is exhausted, both physically and mentally. It's one thing for you not to be considerate, but you're also making a fuss and teasing him. What kind of behavior is this? Even if you don't want to rest, don't disturb His Highness's rest."
As the most senior, most composed and reliable among the remaining angels, Angel Leng has always been a formidable figure.
After all, when angels aren't being childish, they still have a lot of dignity, which is something that has been accumulated over seven thousand years.
But at this moment, everyone was having a great time playing around. Even though they were intimidated by her power and behaved themselves, they did not completely suppress their mischievous nature.
A few of the bolder angels exchanged glances, covered their mouths, and chuckled softly, teasingly saying, "Hehe, Sister Leng is being possessive of her food!"
"Exactly! They won't let us tease the little prince; it's definitely food possessiveness!"
"Now we dare not tease His Highness anymore~"
"Sigh, I'm so sad. Sister Leng has found her dream guy and doesn't want her sisters anymore."
As these teasing remarks rang out, the atmosphere gradually became lively again.
Angel Leng's ears burned slightly upon hearing this, but she was too lazy to argue with the group of girls. She simply glared at them and then raised her little fist and shook it.
Seeing this, the chattering angels immediately became obedient and backed down, sticking out their tongues and completely putting away their playful smiles, no longer teasing and joking around.
The once bustling and noisy open space on the floating island instantly returned to silence.
"Then we'll be going now."
The angels smiled at Li Yao, then bowed and took their leave in an orderly fashion.
Soon, only Li Yao, Angel Leng, and Zhi Xin remained in the arena.
Li Yao raised his hand and grabbed at the air. In an instant, a long halberd, a relic of Xuan Tianji in the distance, flew through the air and landed in his palm.
He turned to look at Angel Leng, his eyes crinkling with a smile, and said with a hint of praise, "Sister Leng, in this crucial moment, we still have to rely on you."
Zhi Xin, standing to the side, nodded with a slight smile, completely agreeing.
Although she was the Queen's right-wing bodyguard, she held absolute authority in formal settings.
But this identity is useless in private. Not only can she not put on that imposing demeanor in private, but even if she did, the other angels wouldn't care. Instead, they would come over and pinch her cheeks with smiles.
Angel Leng walked slowly to Li Yao, raised her chin slightly, and said with an arrogant expression, "Tch! This little scene is nothing to me, Sister Leng."
After saying that, she handed the God-Slaying Sword that had just killed Xuan Tianji back to Li Yao and praised it, saying, "Your sword is quite good."
Her tone carried a subtle hint of fondness and envy.
Seeing this, Li Yao chuckled and asked, "If Sister Leng likes it, I'll give it to you as a gift in the future."
Upon hearing this, the angel's cold face flushed slightly, but she still stubbornly said, "Who, who cares about your gift? I was just making a casual comment."
Seeing her insincere expression, Li Yao smiled but didn't call her out. To be honest, he just liked her cold personality.
Then, he picked up the halberd in his hand, his smile faded, and his face became more solemn.
"But don't get too cocky. There's something fishy going on in this battle."
Angel Leng was slightly taken aback, and asked suspiciously, "Something fishy? Is there some other problem?"
